1
00:00:00,667 --> 00:00:01,168
So what does this say

2
00:00:01,235 --> 00:00:02,536
about voter engagement

3
00:00:02,603 --> 00:00:03,637
when roughly

4
00:00:03,704 --> 00:00:05,939
66% of your respondents

5
00:00:06,340 --> 00:00:07,574
don't know enough about

6
00:00:07,641 --> 00:00:09,409
the two Supreme Court candidates

7
00:00:09,476 --> 00:00:10,944
less than two months away?

8
00:00:11,011 --> 00:00:11,678
I think it is

9
00:00:11,745 --> 00:00:12,412
first of all

10
00:00:12,479 --> 00:00:15,048
it is unusually low engagement

11
00:00:15,115 --> 00:00:15,749
this year.

12
00:00:15,816 --> 00:00:17,417
It's not nearly as high

13
00:00:17,484 --> 00:00:19,219
as it was a year ago

14
00:00:19,286 --> 00:00:22,356
or in the gubernatorial races

15
00:00:22,422 --> 00:00:23,790
as it was in, say

16
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:25,526
2018 or 2022.

17
00:00:25,792 --> 00:00:26,927
So we do seem

18
00:00:26,994 --> 00:00:27,995
a little less engaged

19
00:00:28,061 --> 00:00:28,629
right now.

20
00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:29,496
Some of that is

21
00:00:29,563 --> 00:00:30,497
that the advertising

22
00:00:30,564 --> 00:00:31,698
has not really kicked in

23
00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:33,033
in the Supreme Court race

24
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:33,734
compared to where

25
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,469
it was a year ago.

26
00:00:35,969 --> 00:00:36,637
This time

27
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:38,238
only 6% said they'd

28
00:00:38,305 --> 00:00:39,439
heard or read a lot

29
00:00:39,506 --> 00:00:41,375
about the Supreme Court race.

30
00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:43,610
A year ago that was 39%

31
00:00:43,677 --> 00:00:45,312
at this same time in February.

32
00:00:45,379 --> 00:00:46,580
So I think those

33
00:00:46,647 --> 00:00:48,048
things will pick up.

34
00:00:48,115 --> 00:00:49,149
But we're getting started

35
00:00:49,216 --> 00:00:50,417
a bit slower than we did

36
00:00:50,484 --> 00:00:52,152
a year ago.
